剧情介绍
黑斯廷斯上尉应波洛之邀，在事隔多年后回到了现已是乡间旅馆的斯泰尔斯庄园——这对老朋友初次相遇并共同经历第一桩谋杀案件的地方。然而，令满心憧憬着与波洛及女儿朱迪斯相聚的上尉始料未及的是，比上次更加凶险的谋杀正等待着他的到来。原来，波洛追寻一个手法高超的谋杀犯来到此地，希望阻止罪行的发生。身体每况愈下的他要求黑斯廷斯的协助。但波洛拒绝透露凶手，只断定凶手就是旅馆中的某一个人……
Still mourning the untimely death of his wife, Bella, Hastings is summoned to Styles Court in Styles St. Mary by his old friend Poirot. It is the country manor where, thirty years previously, he and Poirot had first met in England and where they had also solved their first murder mystery together. Now, Styles has changed hands and is being run as a modest post-war guest house, and it is here that Hastings makes a gut-wrenching discovery: Poirot's health has taken a turn for the worse. The Belgian detective is now old, gaunt, arthritic, and confined to a wheelchair as he battles a weak heart. But his little gray cells are as active as ever, which is why Poirot has called him to Styles in the first place - a murderer is in their midst, and may be ready to strike again. He asks Hastings to be his eyes and ears about the place, for Poirot does not know who is likely to be the killer's next victim. Being as observant and vigilant as possible, Hastings takes stock of his fellow company, which includes Styles' elderly owners Daisy and Colonel Toby Luttrell, melancholy spinster Elizabeth Cole, charming aristocrat Sir William Boyd Carrington, perceptive birdwatcher Stephen Norton, dashing womanizer Major Allerton, introverted chemist Dr John Franklin and his unpleasant wife Barbara, Mrs Franklin's caretaker Nurse Craven, and, most significantly, his fiercely independent daughter Judith, currently working as Dr Franklin's laboratory assistant. Any one of these people could be a killer, but Hastings is at a loss as to exactly who, especially since he seems more interested in reconnecting with his estranged daughter and protecting her from indecent cads like Allerton. But soon, the murderer's presence becomes apparent: first, Colonel Luttrell nearly kills his wife in a supposed shooting accident, and then Barbara Franklin dies after ingesting a toxic alkaloid that her husband has been researching. Just when a solution seems in sight, Norton is found dead from a gunshot wound. Who is behind these cold-blooded acts, and for what reason? How much has Poirot been withholding from Hastings, and were any of these events truly preventable? What has Judith been hiding from her father, and can the two be reconciled despite their differences? What role does Shakespeare play in the proceedings? And, finally, can Poirot solve his final case in spite of his deteriorating health, or will the curtain come down on him before he can bring a ruthless killer to justice?
当我第一眼看到银幕上大卫·苏切特饰演的波罗时，他就成了我唯一承认的阿加莎笔下的波罗。敦实的身材，一丝不苟的着装，完美上翘的胡子，滑稽的比利时口音……从1990S-2010S，Suchet演完了波罗的所有案子，而波罗的一生终究是要落下帷幕的，Curtain是波罗的最后一案，也是他人生退场时落下的幕布。呜呼哀哉……Poirot 这个曾在《东方快车谋杀案》中呼唤法律与公正的人却以谋杀他人结束了自己的最后一案(其实直到结尾我都在期待反转，期待恶人的自我毁灭)。开始我不懂这个结局，现在明白有些罪恶是法律和道德也无法裁决的，所以波罗牺牲了自己恪守的准则而隐秘地维护了正义。
还原得比较到位，也很忠于原著。但我还是更喜欢小说的描写，电影有种说不出的僵硬感。
反而没有以前那些案子好。而且一直以来他都是法律的维护者，甚至这一部里也说任何原因都不能谋杀，但他自己却做了一样的事。莫非阿加莎也老了。
波洛杀身成仁。即使违背自己一辈子信奉的上帝，不惜牺牲一生虔诚的祈祷，最后也要手刃“罪犯”。同时，又像他自己的信中所写的一样，“法律掌握在个人的手中不是一件好事”。抱持着这样的矛盾，波洛永远离开了我们，也留下了所谓极善与极恶之间模糊的定义。也许，法律并没有办法辨别所有的善与恶。
啊，忽然怀念那个属于波洛的黄金年代，那么老派正直。帷幕即死亡，波洛的帷幕因而也染上了一丝寓言色彩。虽然阿婆的推理不是最好的，但归功于她独特的幽默感和人情味，波洛也因此超越福尔摩斯成为我心目中最棒的侦探。
这不是最好的一集，但这是最后一案。你期待莫里亚蒂式的对手，期待莱辛巴赫式的悲壮，但这里只有一个卑鄙小人。你听到琴声戛然而止，跟着黑斯廷斯跑上楼，你知道来不及了。他说自己是上帝谦卑的仆人，一生相信法律的公正，如今却不得不为了挽救他人而杀人。拉上帷幕，跪下告解，祂将带走最好的灵魂。
完结季的最后一集，好不舍啊！电视版波罗的去世和本集中的这些容量还可以，也算对得起最后一集的光荣收尾了，很可惜大菠萝没能完美画上人生和职业的句号，但也许现实生活中就是如此，本集故事一般，游说大师简直被超自然加持了，给人催眠洗脑能那么灵验？黑斯廷上校越老越有味，爱他们！
第一次觉得阿婆的故事可能发生在现实生活中……前段铺垫得太无聊了，黑斯廷斯开始查案好像才正式开始，结局却出人意料。这个系列的电视剧差不多看了十来年居然一直看到了剧终的时候。再见，大菠萝。
对于热爱波洛的人，这集是一场凌迟，从波洛的挚友已然白发苍苍，到波洛自己衰老垂死，到波洛被心绞痛折磨，到波洛被罪犯玩弄于鼓掌，到波洛没有服下救命药，他自杀了，是为了惩罚自己，因为逞凶而违背了自己人命至上的信条，他是波洛，但也是个可怜孤独的老头
"过去的日子总是美好的 黑斯廷斯"
最后一集，真是不忍心再看，25年的大菠萝系列，这是怎样的一个坚持
看起来女伯爵在波洛心中其实只能排到第四名的样子……
第13季第5集。还可以，菠萝死去了，告别好时代的伤感和伤逝。剧情显较一般的阿婆片好理解，在老旅馆和一群鸟人周旋后菠萝召来了黑厮，告以有敌情让他判断，而后溘然长逝，留下遗书解谜。黑厮从中悟到凶手实系以挑唆蛊惑指使别人犯案的幕后黑手，而非直接染血的具体人。菠萝赤膊上阵毙凶也颇让我愕然。
全系列选在第十三季第五集结束也是充满深意，与「无人生还」相似的谋杀寓言，引人深思，而这次故事的主角换成了阿婆最爱的波洛探长。什么才是犯罪，什么是完美犯罪，精神谋杀者该如何在现有法律系统下被制裁，一个人能不能拥有惩罚真正罪犯的权利，而作为制裁者是否也是罪犯，该如何自我救赎。再见！
24年 这几天重温经典 从第一季看到这最后一集 当头发已花白的黑斯廷斯打开门 轮椅中的波罗转过身 眼睛一亮 我就开始哭了…………时间太残酷 这个意气风发洁癖挑剔幽默自负可爱的比利时小老头 永远的经典
